Any fix for slide failing to lock back on last round?

[Rule3]

The slide stop is just that, it is not intended as a slide release.

I have the same gun and a problem with the slide lock is not
a "feature" of the gun.

I have sent many (untold)number of guns back to SW for warranty and have always received excellent service. One of the main reasons for buying a product that the company stand behind.Call, they e mail you a Fed Ex label. call Fed Ex they come and pick it up,

Your gun, your choice, good luck.

I have the same issue with my Shield - very easy to put minimal pressure on the slide stop causing the slide to not lock back on the last round. No such issues on my 40FS or 40c, even when shooting mouse-fart 9mm through conversion barrels.

The issue is that the Shield is a small pistol and it's very easy for your right thumb to make contact with the slide stop. When I overcompensate (putting my right thumb in a spot where it can't possibly contact the slide release), I don't have the issue.

Perhaps the magazine spring is a little weak at the extent of travel when the magazine is empty and thus puts too little pressure on the slide stop, but fundamentally it's user error.....
